What was the name of the twelve disciples? Mark gives us a concise listing in chapter three. This is a great reference for all the gospels and the twelve.
"He appointed twelve—designating them apostles that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons. These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder); Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him."
Are we not all one big family? Jesus teaches His family is anyone who does the will of God. In addition to bloodlines, we are family as we do God's will. We all are a part of God's family! The church can help us expand our notion of family.
